Since when do organizations care about pissing off the fans. I think the Royals and Pirates have been doing that pretty effectively for quite some time and their still in business.If Lincecum is shutdown they know some fans will cry for a week or two. They also know all fans will show up next year for his first start regardless.

Seeing as how Lester has been the Sox best pitcher for the last two months, there's no way he gets shut down. Francona may pay closer to attention to his pitch count, but he will be out there every 5th start until the end.

Grienke is a candidate. He started more than he relieved last year when you include AAA, but he was running a big IP load before he got shelled for a couple weeks in July. I own him in a keeper league where I can't afford to lose an SP down the stretch, and I am shopping him.
